‘The Walking Dead’ fans launch petition calling for resolution to Season Six cliffhanger

Spoiler alert: This news story contains spoilers for the Season 6 Finale of The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead fans left frustrated by the show’s cliffhanger ending in its Season Six finale have launched an online petition asking TV network AMC to reveal who died.

The latest season of the hit US show ended on Sunday (April 3) with fans expecting a major character to be beaten to death with a baseball bat by new villain Negan. However, the identity of the character who was killed was not revealed in the episode and fans will have to wait until the next season to find out the truth.

In a Change.org petition, fan Mason Cade Packer calls on AMC to “show us who Negan killed… either in an interim episode that borders Season Six and Seven, or a short R-Rated webisode that shows us the death in all it’s bloody glory.”

“Either of these are fine as long as it’s released before May 30,” the petition adds. It has currently been signed by 790 fans, correct at the time of publishing.

“I didn’t know it was going to be a cliffhanger until I watched the show. That was done in my world,” Morgan said. “I don’t know if any of the cast knew how exactly it was going to end, which is what caused a lot of the uncertainty and emotion going on.”

“I got the script two days before I shot it,” Morgan said. “I only got Negan’s stuff. I didn’t even get the full script.” The actor added of filming: “It was very emotional. A couple of them didn’t make eye contact with me until the end of the second night. A couple of them embraced me immediately after we filmed all night.”

Speaking about the next season of the show, Morgan added: “We will pick up directly from what we saw last night. Season seven is going to pick up right where we left off. So you’re going to see who’s on the end of that bat.”
